Anyone interested in gardens and landscapes will surely be interested in the history of the land they are working or gardening on?
It's always fascinated me what building might have stood or what trees or plants grew there. I've also been inspired over the years by the engineering and industrial spread of the Roman Empire throughout the British Isles.
The Romans were very active where I lived and a Roman road passed just 200 metres, in the field behind my house in Oakhanger and I once watched two metal detecting enthusiasts scour the area and actual find several small Roman coins.
Merrist Wood college are holding a two day Roman artefacts and pottery identification course on the 5 & 6 February 2011.
The day will focus on learning how to identify and name Roman pottery fabrics from the South East of England. The course will also cover the reasons for the location of Roman pottery production and the methods and technology behind the manufacturing process of Roman pottery fabrics. There will also provide a chance for participants to bring small samples of their own pottery finds to be identified.
Download the course details on PDF.
